NEW YORK ONTARIO & WESTERN Exclusive!

Fantastic... Out of the country for another couple weeks, but I'll be giving you a call for a set when I can.

Great idea to do custom run cars by Weaver. The  nice thing about doing a custom run car is you are the only store that has it. I'm surprised more dealers don't take advantage of doing custom run cars. The folks at Weaver are great and their products are wonderful. JR Junction keep up the good work. 

 

Thanks Jim and you are right!  We have done several custom run cars and locomotives with Weaver Models and they are great people to deal with.  We have tons of ideas for future releases.

Has pricing been determined on these yet? I already put my name down for a set of 6, and while I was planning out my train budget, realized I have no price for these!

I am guessing these model the later, converted ones, with fixed bottoms, no drop

bottoms?

       
       


We don't have firm figures from Weaver yet, but I expect the set of six cars to be approximately $300 or $55 each single car.  Two-Rail cars will be slightly more.  I will post here and notify all customer preorders when the actual pricing and approximate availability date has been set.

Thank you all for your preorders!  They are going better than even I expected!

       
       

That is correct.  Thank you for your interest in these!

So with the recent announcement from Weaver, does this mean this project is not going to happen? ----DARN!

Sure seems that way.......I was hoping for another special run of their light consolidations in a NYO&W livery.

Me too Peter, I think this will be a big blow for NYO&W fans!

 

I waited until I had a chance to talk to Weaver Models owner Joe Hayter myself before I announced anything.  All custom run projects with Weaver including this one has been cancelled.  Joe did tell me that if someone acquires the company and tooling, he will let me know so I can hopefully set up this custom run project with the new owners.

 

I will be calling all of our customers that had these pre-ordered.  We thank all of you for your interest in these cars.

 

As a shred of good news, I can now devote more time effort and money into a different custom run New York Ontario & Western item(s).  I cannot go into detail here, but it will be something that has never been done in "O" scale before and will certainly be on every NYO&W enthusiasts want list.

 

Thank you again for your interest in these gondola cars.

Well, That sounds encouraging ! I hope we can see some O&W that items will knock our socks off! 

Thank you for the phone call. I received that before I read it here. Disappointed for the gondolas, but not surprised given the news. I am very glad to hear other projects are in the works and anxiously await their announcement.

Your welcome.  It was not easy making a little over a dozen phone calls about this.  We will announce our next project as soon as we get the details with the manufacturer worked out.
